Yeah I know - I should have put my words more carefully - it's not really
reverse engineering - it's reading the docs *real* thourough
and putting all the pieces together ! If you search real hard on the net
you'll find the specs - you just have to put it together...
Basically anyone can do this - next thing you know it doing an imp show=Y
and extracting DDL is reverse engineering !
Nevertheless I'd expected a reply like that as soon as I posted this
message - heck - I even expected that it would come from you as
this is a *professional* newsgroup isn't it...
